Hi! I'm Solomon Tessema

A Data Analyst and AI Developer with over 10 years of experience transforming raw data into actionable insights across mortgage servicing, credit analytics, healthcare, and retail. My expertise lies in Python-based analytics, machine learning, and data visualization to support decision-making and solve complex challenges.

With a strong foundation in mathematics (MS, Indiana State University) and software engineering, I specialize in predictive modeling, large-scale data cleaning, and interactive dashboards using tools like Python, SQL, TensorFlow, and Tableau.

Outside of work, I design geodesic domes, engage in astrophotography, and build robots with my kids, blending creativity with technology to inspire innovative thinking.

Transforming data into actionable insights, I harness the power of AI and visualization to solve complex challenges and inspire innovative thinking.
